Quoted from "Zoot Cat" 1944

"Boy, are you corny!"...
How many times have you been told that?
Get your boots laced, buddy!
Get hep to the jive
Step in and see "Slammin' Sam The Zoot Suit Man"
Step out with a Zoot Suit
With a drape shape and a reet pleat
Wear an ankle length jacket with three foot shoulders
Pants that begin at the chin, zoom to a 54 inch knee,
Then fade softly to a three inch Victory cuff.
Get hep! Get one! Get lost in a new Zoot Suit!

A BUNCH OF GREAT NEWS!

See you on the dance floor!

HOP FOR HAITI UPDATE

PLUS... DANCE-A-THON SIGN UPS!
LET'S HAVE A STRONG RUSTY'S RHYTHM CLUB TEAM

The 24 Hour Cancer Dance-a-thon is fast approaching on March 13th and 14th, 2010. While we have a lot of participants registered, many of them have not joined a team.
Please make sure that you register and join a team well in advance of March 13. This will make the registration process smoother for everyone and will get you out onto the dance floor faster.

To help with the formation of teams, we are pleased to announce RUSH WEEK at the following swing dance venues.

YOU ASKED FOR IT, YOU GOT IT
"CHEAP & CHEERFUL" $8 DJ NITE AT RUSTY'S

02-17 SPECIAL GUEST "DJ JOSE" & ROBERT "THE PROFESSOR" VANGOR

Just before the holidays, I sent out a Rusty's Rhythm Club survey. Many of you asked for an occasional cheaper night. Your wish is my command. We're giving it a try this month with a $8 "Cheap & Cheerful" DJ Nite. Let us know what you think.

02-24 JIVE ACES PLAY FOR MY B-DAY DANCE

Sometimes a girl just get lucky -- and, boy howdy, did I get lucky this year with the Jive Aces being in town right at the time of my birthday. As they are simply one of the liveliest and most entertaining bands on planet earth, I guess I can pretty much be guaranteed a grand birthday dance. And, you'll have a GREAT time, too!

03-24 RUSTY'S 12-YEAR ANNIVERSARY WITH GEORGE GEE FROM THE BIG APPLE

Hard to believe yet another dancing year has gone by and this is the 12-Year Anniversary of Rusty's Rhythm Club. But, yes indeed, it is! And we hit the jackpot with this one... we got George Gee all the way from the Big Apple. This is not to be missed! Mark your calendars right now and let's all celebrate together.

If it's your birthday this week, just let us know so you can get your birthday dance!

BE PROUD TO SAY:
"I SUPPORT LIVE MUSIC!"

ZOOT CAT

We've been talking about this cartoon clip for three weeks in our Tuesday night classes! Ron and I have been doing our best to imitate 3:39 (you'll see!). This is a classic Tom and Jerry cartoon and hysterical! Hope it gives a big smile to your day.

Don't forget the Bayside Ball dress code - no jeans, t shirts or athletic wear - we ask that our gentlemen wear collared shirts and dress pants and our ladies wear dress pants or skirts/dresses. This is a special night so be sure to dress snappy!

*Also, don't be spooked by our Balboa contest & lesson tonight - we will be playing all tempos of music*

Camp Hollywood! Camp Hollywood is one of the largest and longest running swing dance camps in the world. Now in its 13th year, we're proud to offer the finest selection of international dance instructors, live music and competitors which provide a fun-filled long weekend with something for everyone! We offer classes in Lindy Hop, Shag, Balboa, and various swing line dances in levels from Beginner to Advanced, dance contests for all levels, after hours dancing, live music jams all over the hotel, and lots of spontaneous shenanigans!
